How to Record Your Screen

This guide focuses specifically on capturing your screen in Screen Script — choosing the right capture mode, enabling system audio, and getting a clean recording.

Steps

1. Open the Launcher and create a new project (or open an existing one). Click Record.

2. Enable the Screen toggle in the Recorder. Your browser will show a screen selection popup.

3. Choose what to capture:

   • Entire screen — captures everything on one monitor. Best performance, and required for system audio on some browsers.
   • Application window — captures a single app. Do not resize the window during recording.
   • Browser tab — captures one tab only. Useful for recording web apps.

4. Enable system audio (optional) — in the same popup, check "Share system audio" if you want internal sounds included. This option may not appear on all browsers or capture modes.

5. Click Start Recording, perform your walkthrough, then click Stop Recording when done.

Tips for better screen recordings

• Prepare your screen before enabling the toggle — have the app or window you want to record open and sized correctly before you start.

• Use Entire Screen for best performance — browsers optimize full-screen capture more efficiently than window or tab capture.

• Don’t resize windows during recording — if you chose window or tab capture, resizing can cause black frames or video corruption.

• Close unnecessary tabs and apps — this reduces CPU load and keeps your recording smooth.

• On macOS, you may need to allow screen recording in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen Recording for your browser.

  Chrome and Edge offer the best screen recording experience, including system audio support. Firefox and Safari may have limitations.

What’s next?

After recording, Screen Script opens the Editor where you can trim, add zoom effects, and adjust layouts before exporting.
